Thanks a lot for taking part to this project. Concerning the physics prerequisites, don’t worry. There is simply none of them. The idea is to move on slowly, together, so that I could explain everything in due time. At the end of the adventure, I am sure that you will understand (almost) everything. Somehow, we can see this project as an option to learn by practice.

I am happy to read that you managed to solve the Fortran issue. I assume the problems were all related to the old operating system you had on our Linux machine. Also, I apologise for not having indicated this in the initial post. I simply forgot, but this was pointed out by several participants, in particular @eniolw and @servelle who went into this quite early. The post had been updated with this respect at the end of last week.

Concerning the virtual machine, a 10 GB fixed disk space may be too small. The problem is that we will need to generate huge intermediate temporary files of several GBs. Those files won’t be stored on disk forever, but we need to store them at least during the time we post-process them. I will explain that in details in due time.

Finally, I have updated my post with information on boost and build-essential. Thanks for pointing this out. This is something I knew, but forgot ;)

Thanks a gain for this very nice and useful report!

Cheers!

Thanks a lot! Yes, my goals are to collaborate and learn. How much do you think would be a good size for the disc? I have space, it wouldn't be a problem, I only put 10 because I thought it would be enough. Cheers!

I think that with the virtual box, you can set the disk space to be dynamical. That should be the best option, in my opinion. Otherwise, 50 GB is comfortable.

I will also investigate on my side about how to get some online shared space, when this will be neede. In this way, our individual simulations could be put in common and shared.

Perfect, I take it to 50 gb and enlarge it even more if necessary. I'm not sure if it can be changed from fixed to dynamic once created, but I'll look into it. thanks!

You are welcome. The post of this week will appear slightly later (hopefully tomorrow, most probably on Friday). I have important university issues to deal with, and they delay a bit everything.
